You are right. "pay nothing" is a slight distortion. These folks pay sales tax, gas tax, etc...But a huge number of American households pay 0 feredal income tax.
Zimmy, here is something that's not a distortion.
Sixteen trillion and counting. Here's what that looks like numerically...
$16,000,000,000,000.
Throw in social security and Medicare shortfalls, and we're in the red by at least...
$50,000,000,000,000.
There are 300 million Americans. That works out to this much per person...
$166,667.
That's not a distortion Zimmy, that's hard fact. Conservatives feel we need to start addressing this. Liberals prefer to stick their fingers in their ears and their heads in the sand, and keep handing out checks to buy votes.
Try making that wrong, or even "distorted"...
